Kuirem Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 All those new hot geysers not only make Steam Turbine renewable but also an excellent way to delete heat. However I couldn't find how much heat it removes from the Steam. Does anyone have the value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnus Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Anything you like really. The output steam is fixed at 176C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuirem Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 Oh it's a fixed value. Damn I was hoping I could set multiple turbine in a row. Oh well at least it will simplify the setup. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neotuck Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 It's 176C but the turbine itself warms up the steam as well. I have had 500C steam go in and once the turbine heated up to around 490C the steam on top was over 450C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLance Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Hmmm i had plans to use a big volcano to power multiple turbines, so it can be done then. Great news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuirem Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 That was the idea yes, but if it's a fixed value it might be better to just leave an opening and a single Turbine to cool the steam until it reaches a stable temperature (somewhere between 252°C and 176°C).

Just ran a test with steam starting at 1000C (easy if you have magma) even with a stack of 4 turbines the end steam was over 800C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuirem Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 Don't have the game to test right now so what if you made something like that : Would it cool the hot stuff over time or would the steam turbine just don't work because it consider the bottom and top to be connected? What if you add airflow tiles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if you add airflow tiles? there needs to be a pressure difference of 5K from below the turbine and top, your design can still work you just need to automate some mech doors to pump the steam down, and yes it will cool the "hot stuff" this is why a big volcano is helpful in supplying fresh magma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIXBUGFIXBUGFIX Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Quote input > 525 Kelvin output = 450 Kelvin rate 10kg/s pressure difference>3kg It eliminates heat at the rate of ≥3134kw. (525-450)K*4.179kJ/kg/K*10kg/s=3134kw So far, devs haven't changed anything about the steam turbine in ranching, even haven't fixed relevant bugs. So I think the steam turbine will have some changes in later updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLance Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 isnt it a difference of 3kg now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can make it delete really any amount of heat you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuirem Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 So I found out how to make a cooler with a single turbine. The trick is really simple, I put 500 g (or less) of Hydrogen then around 20 tonnes of water. The water is turned into steam and push the Hydrogen to the top. When the turbine check the pressure difference it finds a tile with really low pressure because gas don't mix in a tile and it will work continuously. I put 12 tonnes of Magma at 3000°C and it lost around 1000°C per cycle. It might prove useful to cool down stuff like Metal geysers down to a more workable temperature.
